LIVING SPRING WREATH MAKING KIT with Spring Bulbs on a woven willow/birch base
Description
It's never to early to brighten up your door and bring some joy to your home with a gorgeous living spring bulb wreath. Alternatively, these beautiful 'on trend', and more importantly, sustainable wreaths, will brighten an interior wall and are perfect for late winter or early spring, Mother's Day, and Easter Gifts. You will love learning a new skill by making this all natural, circular or tear drop living wreath that appeals to both gardeners and crafters alike. First, you will learn to create and weave a beautiful willow/birch wreath base, and cover it with a layer of moss as a foundation for the beautiful springtime bulbs and seasonal foraged treasures. You will then be guided step by step through the process of binding on the bulbs and arranging the additional foliage on the wreath, to ensure a unique and personalised wreath. Depending on seasonal availability, there will be a selection of mixed bulbs available, .e.g. Hyacinths, Muscari, Narcissus,Tête-à-Tête' Crocus, or Tulips. Once completed, the bulbs will gradually grow and bloom over the weeks, ensuring a wonderful splash of colour and a cheerful welcome home to yourself, visitors, and passers-by. The wreath is completely sustainable, as after flowering the bulbs can be replaced, planted out in the garden or stored in a cool, dark place for the following year. The wreath base can also be reused for the next season, making it extremely planet friendly. The kit is perfect for yourself or for a friend/family member as a unique gift for any occasion. A personalised message can be requested.
